WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why shifts_suspend needs a policy

Suspending a shift is a state change that modifies data (shifts status) but remains reversible, fitting the Write category. Severity is medium because suspending shifts can impact store operations, employee schedules, and business continuity, but the action is not destructive and does not involve financial transactions or system execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'shifts_suspend' and description 'Suspend a shift' indicate a modification operation on shift data that can be reversed (unsuspend/resume), not an irreversible deletion.
